I flew up yesterday for a the PostgreSQL conference which is meeting at Ryerson University. My plane got in late but in time to have dinner with Gavin Sherry, Josh Berkus, and Greg Stark. Then, even though it was only about 8 or 9 my time, I was able to get to sleep in order to get as much sleep as possible.
Thus far today I have attended Bruce Momjain's keynote, which was a good oveview of the initial history of PostgreSQL, a talk on Bizgres and what they're doing with PostgreSQL to enhance performance, a Performance round table moderated by Simon Riggs and then an Intro to PostgreSQL Hacking. I'm currently in the PostgreSQL Advocacy session.

I had no idea how big PostgreSQL is in Japan. I'm in the PostgreSQL Fundraising and Advocacy meeting right now and JPUG is pdoing a presentation. With ~3,000 members and 8 branches, JPUG is very well organized and impressive. They distributed one of their newsletters to us which was very high quality. While I'm having a bit of a hard time understanding the speaker, I cant help be be amazed at how well these guys are organized and the thriving community over there.

It's Thursday morning and I'm in the Saddleback Church sanctuary for the
Purpose Driven Worship Conference. The rest of the group from my church and I are waiting for the morning concert to start. It's been a pretty cool experience hanging out with other people in the worship and tech ministries at my church and attending the conference. The music has been incredible, the people great, and the speakers, such as
Marcos Witt , are amazing. There are times where I can definately feel the Holy Spirt and His presence here and I'm very grateful for my church and Kevin, our worship pastor for sending me (And for my work allowing me to go in the middle of a stressful project).
